\section[Switching To SVGs]{Switching To SVGs}\label{why-i-use-terminal-apps}

\textbf{6 August 2023}


\textbf{Category: }Software

Debloating my website has been an educational experience to say the
least. There were so many small things which seemed insignificant at
first but made a massive difference to the speed of my website. Most of
these changes have had little to no impact on the look and feel of my
website but have reduced the size and improved the efficiency by a lot.

One of these changes was definitely moving away from Font Awesome. I did
not think much of the icons on my website as they were already too many
in size for me to switch every single one to another library. However,
\href{https://odysee.com/@ericnmurphy:9/web-icons-with-no-external-libraries!:c}{after
watching this video from Eric Murphy,} I thought about it. Then, I still
said no because there were way too many icons on my website.

Then, I did a GTMetrix scan of my website and saw that my icons and
fonts were taking up 90\% of my website\textquotesingle s initial load
resources. That forced me to take on the challenge to change every
single icon to SVGs. It was much easier than expected.

Now, my website is much more leaner than before. I am happy on how this
change turned out.
